A North Carolina mom returning home from deployment pulled off a sweet surprise Tuesday.

That's because his kids didn't know he was home yet. He pulled off his big entrance without a hitch, and when Maddie caught sight of him she yelled in surprise, "Daddy!" and gave him a big hug.

Seymour Johnson AFB Technical Sergeant Lance Daigle returned from deployment earlier this week, and he had a special surprise planned for his kids at a Carolina Mudcats baseball game.

A military father came home a week early and surprised his daughter in her classroom at a South Carolina high school.
